Do Sony Want Vegas to be taken seriously?

[John Rofrano]

[Alf Hanna] ” The real agravation is from the ‘demand’ in the FCP world to get everything to ProRes.”

I second that statement. It is extremely bold and arrogant to demand that everyone supply their footage in a proprietary format that can only be created in FCP on a Mac. Apple is the most uncollaborative platform I have ever seen. You can collaborate as long as everyone else has a Mac and uses FCP. That’s not collaboration in my book.

[Alf Hanna] ” I don’t think EDL would help many people, and from what I’ve read, it’s prone to it’s own incompatabilities.”

As the name implies, it is only an Edit Decision List and only transfers edits to the source. No FX or anything else. So it is of minimal value very early in the editing stage before any color correction or any other FX.

I’m a big Vegas fan–versions 7, 9, & 10, which I only got because it uses the GPU; I don’t care for 3D myself–and personally aspire to one day break the FCP/Avid panopoly on cinema using Vegas (but that’s another story). But something quick I want to chime in on, here, is not recently I checked in on one of Sony’s media websites for curiosity’s sake. Basically I wanted to see if ANYTHING media created by Sony uses Sony Vegas. Only position I saw looking for an editor–something with commercials or something–required FCP.
Now, I’m not one to say that corporate mentality HAS to be incestuous, but. . .man!
That is all. . .
